CNN Features News Story that Calls Patriots "Extremists"

[Seabeejason]

They cite a report from the Southern Poverty Law Center and actually have the audacity to call them "experts".

Just another bunch of fearmongers who are making excuses. And they are experts? Maybe experts in BS.

[Moped]

SPLC is extremist! They hate anything that even remotely conservative or libertarian. They are a residue of the Civil Rights Movement from the 60's.  Personally, I think they have outlived their usefulness, along time ago.  When Dees finally kicks the bucket, hopefully they will dry up and fade away!!!

CNN has also been called chicken noodle news.

 

 

I mean, they had to really dig around to find an expert source like that.

Comunist

Network

 

Yours is great.

[Guest 6.8 AR]

They're both right, but I never heard chicken noodle news. I bet Campbell soups ain't too happy about that.

[KaNuckles]

Could be because they are paid to run stories like this

When did they change the name from the Clinton News Network?  I'm lost.

[jcoosi]

I have been called worse by better people

[Raoul]

Well let's not forget that veterans are terror suspects according to Janet Napolitano.
Isn't it odd. Janet Reno..Janet Napolitano.

[Guest 6.8 AR]

I've been blinded by that thought before, too, Raoul. :D

Two sections of this article really get my blood boiling.

 

The rise in such groups echoes a period almost 20 years ago, around the time when Congress passed the 1993 Brady Bill and the 1994 ban on assault weapons, the SPLC said. That legislation came near a period of infamous and deadly anti-government violence in Waco, Texas; Ruby Ridge, Idaho; and Oklahoma City, "and led to the first wave of the patriot movement," the report said.

EXCUSE ME!?!?!? Those weren't incidents of "anti-government violence". Those were massacres where the government murdered our fellow citizens. 

 

The country needs to do better," Potok wrote in an editorial. The Department of Homeland Security, he said, needs to act to avoid a repeat of the kind of hate-based violence the nation saw in the 1990s.

That's actually pretty easy to accomplish. Don't send your black clad stormtroopers to murder people and we won't be forced to shoot back in self defense.

 

Fuck the author of this article and fuck the SPLC and their hate mongering way of painting the people who don't march in lockstep to their views as "dangerous extremists". Fucking tools.

Here is another very similar sounding story from the Associated Press. http://news.yahoo.com/researchers-report-sharp-rise-patriot-groups-170121578.html

 

This is not accidental. 

 

Here is MVB's response on Sipsey Street Irregulars.

 

Be aware, if you openly value liberty, the constitution or the founder's ideals, then you are squarely in the government's crosshairs.

The Liberal Left must villianize conservative values, capitalism and our constitution to punch through the wall of freedom that these items guarantee each of us. These attacks have never been so open and bold as they are now in this time of our nations history. The liberals open show their contempt for all of these in word and in deed,especially the constitution which makes it all possible.

This has been many years in the making. WE Just happen to be living in, or very close the final push to change our form of government to a form of socialism. I believe it will be the Marxist form, because of certain leaders in our government's interest in it and their association with others that share this interest. Its also interesting to note that history shows many times Socialist countries became socialist via military coup.

[Worriedman]

Wonder what they would have had to say about Henry, Franklin, Washington, Lee, Mason and that crowd?

Nathan Hale would be a complete enigma to these people.

[TMF]

Are these people aware of what happened at Ruby Ridge? 

 

These people are poking a caged pitbull just so they can say "see, look how aggressive it is."

[Guest 6.8 AR]

They don't care what actually happened. not in their agenda. This is revisionist history in the making.

 

All these fools on the left did was resurrect one of their fallen prophets: Goebbels.

 

The truth to them is what they think it should mean.
